The 2026 NBA Finals are in full swing as only two teams remain in the playoff field, vying for a chance to raise the Larry O’ Brien Trophy.
The New York Knicks stole home-court advantage in Game 1, defeating the San Antonio Spurs 105-95 before taking a decisive 2-0 lead with a 105-104 win in Game 2 on Friday. The Spurs bounced back in Game 3 with a 115-111 win at Madison Square Garden, while New York completed the greatest comeback in NBA playoff history, coming back from a 29-point halftime deficit Wednesday to take Game 4 107-106.
The Knicks swept the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference finals to reach the championship round for the first time since 1999. They are looking to end a decades-long drought, as they haven’t won an NBA Finals series since 1973.
The Spurs, in the Finals for the first time since 2014, are led by their rising superstar Victor Wembanyama and a cast of young players. They’re coming off a contentious seven-game series in the Western Conference finals against the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder.
After each game, our NBA insiders will break down the matchup from both sides, giving takeaways from the arena, judging overreactions to the performances and looking ahead to the rest of the series.
